It is considered the heart of the local alternative culture and has a decades-long history closely tied to the street's famous squatting movement. Contrary to what many people assume, the name does not primarily refer to the Soviet assault rifle. Instead, it is a historical play on words derived from its address: The venue was originally founded as an anti-fascist neighborhood café called \"Café Nix Da\". Based on the house number 23 (Kiefernstraße 23) and inspired by the punk rock scene, the operators created a playful mathematical formula which resulted in the provocative name AK47.The facade purposefully shuns curated murals, relying instead on a chaotic, constantly evolving canvas of authentic graffiti tags, street art, and gig posters.In parts removed and vandalized, but still there.","author_name":"Andrea Ranke (streetartwalks)","author_url":"https://streetartcities.com/users/51f372c8-94ee-4e71-9262-bc43e92d4dc4","thumbnail_url":"https://streetartcities.com/media/f/f5924922-764d-4b66-ab70-afd674bd5d36/1024.jpg","thumbnail_width":1024,"width":480,"height":480,"html":"","cache_age":3600}
